The former Diamondbacks right-hander made his first visit to his former team's new spring-training digs, then took a few minutes to talk with Diamondbacks reporters for the first time since he signed a one-year, incentive-laden deal with the Rangers.

Webb, who ranks behind only Randy Johnson on the list of best pitchers in Diamondbacks history, was asked if he could see the writing on the wall about whether the organization was looking to bring him back for another year.

"I didn't know," he said. "I thought they might at least call. But I didn't even get that."

Any hard feelings?

"No" he said. "It was probably 50/50, and I guess that was the other 50. That's fine.

"(General Manager) Kevin (Towers) came in, and that's just how it is. They want to bring their own guys in. You see that happening not only here but everywhere, from front-office guys, coaches and players."

Webb has missed almost two full seasons because of a shoulder injury, and he's behind the rest of the Rangers' starting pitchers this spring. But he said he is scheduled to throw his fourth bullpen session Sunday and hopes to face hitters later in the week.

He said he expects to open the season on the disabled list, but "hopefully I'll catch up and move right along."

On the bright side

Right-hander Barry Enright gave up a pair of solo home runs in three innings against the Rangers, but he was pleased with the progress his change-up has made.

"It was probably my No. 1 pitch today, which is funny to say," he said. "That's been a pitch I've been working on a lot. It's going to be an essential pitch. That's the positive."

He said he threw at least seven change-ups, including one to Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton, who swung and missed.

Gorgen out

Right-hander Matt Gorgen, a prospect the Diamondbacks acquired from the Rays in last year's Chad Qualls trade, learned Friday he will need Tommy John surgery on his elbow and will miss the season.

"It's a tough break, but I'll rehab and get ready for next year," he said. "Hopefully this time next year I'll be throwing again."

Gorgen's twin brother Scott, who pitches in the Cardinals organization, had the same surgery in October.

"We pitch two different ways," Gorgen said. "He's a little more over the top than I am, but our mechanics are pretty much the same."

He said his brother begins his throwing program Monday; Matt is expecting to have surgery this week.

Diamondbacks report

At Salt River Fields: Diamondbacks 3, Rangers 2

At the plate: Stephen Drew had an RBI double to drive home Kelly Johnson, who had walked to start the bottom of the first, and Drew added a sacrifice fly in the third to score Chris Young, who had doubled to left field. The red-hot Ryan Roberts won the game with a walk-off single to center to score Willie Bloomquist, who had singled and stole second with one out. "I was just trying to hit the ball back up the middle," Roberts said. "That's all I've been doing all spring. It's working right now, and I'm just going to keep doing that."

On the mound: RHP Armando Galarraga threw three scoreless and hitless innings, striking out two and walking one. Manager Kirk Gibson said Galarraga's slider was sharp, a pitch he used to strike out Josh Hamilton and Nelson Cruz.
